“My 5 Senses” by Elliot Green
When I wake up
I hear birds chirping
And engines roaring.
…
When I get up
I see children going to school
And cars driving to work.
—
When I walk to school
I smell flowers
And car exhaust fumes.
—
When I get in school
I touch my chair and table
When it is lunchtime
I taste crackers and sweets.

A very visual & tactile poem, Elliot! When I read about you touching the table & chairs at school, my first thought was “I hope you used hand sanitiser afterwards!”. Oh what days we live in 😂

Elliot laughed when she read your comment! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
A great poem using all 5 senses, Elliot! Being able to write using your senses is a good skill to have for English. Well done.
Thanks Rachel! 🙂
